Teams prepare for ESL One Katowice 2019

Here's the down and dirty of all things ESL ONe Katowice 2019 set to commence tomorrow, February 19th.

Katowice, Poland. An emerging metropolis and known center of youth, culture, and industry. A city nestled in the Southern part of Poland tucked away into the Eastern European region. An esports Mecca now synonymous with some of the biggest names in the gaming industry: - IEM and ESL. Only a few years ago, not many would have given a second thought to the 11th largest city in Poland becoming the esports capital of the world, but the city officials saw and seized an opportunity. They envisioned a future where the city would bustle and grow under a contract that would bring esports to the city once a year for the next five years. A partnership that could put the city on the global map and give a then-burgeoning industry a place to call home.

Since 2014, Katowice has been a hotspot -- hosting one of the largest esports themed expos in the world, EMS and IEM CS:GO world championships as well as Dota 2 Major and Premier level LANs. Hand over fist, year after year, Katowice edges closer to sitting on the cusp as leaders of event innovation and fan attendance.

This weekend, up to 10,000 passionate fans from all across Poland, Europe and further regions of the world will be gathering to watch 12 of Dota 2’s most elite teams battle it out for the lion’s share of the $300,000 prize pool at Spodek Arena. The action on the big stage is expected to be at maximum intensity with the Number One ranked DPC team —Team Secret, the TI8 championship team —OG and several rapidly rising teams engage in an all-out battle. Amid rollicking crowds, the atmosphere will be breathtaking and electrifying as spectators cheer and jeer along with the action.
